Doesn't a 2003 Mustang Cobra run a 5.?L with an Eaton blower? They have drive belts.

Yep, what I was talking about when he said belts and why I was concerned if he felt he could switch legally to a turbo,

No turbo's allowed in the C/PS class, just factory type supercharger that came eqiped on the vehicle.  We had to make it a 306ci to qualify for the class.  we had to do some things to turn the 4.6 into a 306.

Lets make sure we are all talking about the same thing here. the original poster was talking about "Classic Production Supercharged" and somewhere in the thread it got changed to C/PS which is C engine, Production Supercharged (C/PS). There were very few classic production supercharged vehicles ever available.

Production Supercharged does allow turbochargers if the production vehicle being entered originally came with a turbocharger. Like J.D. said, it has to be like for like but it can be much bigger. You CANT replace a screw type S/C with a turbo and call it production supercharged but you CAN replace a T25 turbo with a GT60 and remain in production supercharged.

On production vehicles the general rule is that it has to appear aerodynamically and visually stock (externally) and since the turbo is external on a M/C you pretty much have to keep the stock unit where on a car it's under the hood and not external so you can change it. At least thats how I always understood it.

Production Supercharged---Heavy Print '08 rule book:

Speceficaly address types as "TURBOCHARGER or BELTDRIVEN SUPERCHARGER"  doesn't mention what type of belt.. MUST stay with type and number of either as came originally.
